Indeed, these inventions may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will satisfy applicable legal requirements. The term “or” is used herein in both the alternative and conjunctive sense, unless otherwise indicated. The terms “illustrative” and “exemplary” are used to be examples with no indication of quality level. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout.

I. Overview and Technical Improvements

Various embodiments of the present invention improve real-time efficiency of performing parasomnia-related predictive data analysis for a monitored individual by introducing techniques that enable integrating pre-sleep predictive inferences into in-sleep predictive inferences in order to generate in-sleep predictive inferences faster. For example, in some embodiments, both pre-sleep models and in-sleep models are configured to process data having common feature types, such as an ECG feature sequence, an EGG feature sequence, and/or the like. By using this technique, various embodiments of the present invention impose a conceptual relationship between the predictive inferences performed by pre-sleep models and predictive inferences performed by in-sleep models, which in turn makes pre-sleep predictive inferences more pertinent to in-sleep predictive inferences and thus enables making in-sleep models more efficient and faster by integrating pre-sleep predictive inferences into such models. This is critical for operational reliability of real-time parasomnia detection/intervention models, as due to health reasons time is of the essence when it comes to harm reduction objectives of such models. Accordingly, various embodiments of the present invention make important technical contributions to improving real-time efficiency of performing parasomnia-related predictive data analysis for a monitored individual by introducing techniques that facilitate effective integration of pre-sleep feedback into in-sleep predictive inferences of parasomnia detection/intervention models.

Various embodiments of the present invention introduce techniques for efficient parasomnia reduction intervention in real-time by introducing techniques that enable utilizing efficient deep reinforcement learning models in detecting optimal parasomnia reduction interventions. For example, in some embodiments, to select the recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention from the set of candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions for an ongoing sleep window, an ongoing sleep time representation of the ongoing sleep window (e.g., an ongoing sleep time representation that is determined based at least in part on a model input of an in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model for the ongoing sleep window) is used to generate an existing state of the environment that may then be supplied to a deep reinforcement learning machine learning model, where the deep reinforcement learning machine learning model may be configured to select the recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention in a manner that is configured to maximize a value generation sub-model (e.g., a Q function) of the deep reinforcement machine learning model given the existing state defined by the ongoing sleep time representation. By using the noted techniques, various embodiments of the present invention enable efficient and reliable detection of optimal parasomnia reduction interventions in real-time, thus making important technical contributions to improving real-time efficiency of performing parasomnia-related predictive data analysis for a monitored individual.

Various embodiments of the present invention enable techniques for improving real-time efficiency of performing parasomnia-related predictive data analysis for a monitored individual by introducing techniques that enable dynamic deployment of a parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model whose expected input is associated with both statically-deployed features and dynamically-deployed features. In some embodiments, because the model input of a parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is associated with statically-deployed features and dynamically-deployed features, a trained parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model that is trained in one physical environment cannot reliably be deployed in a second physical environment, as the predictive model developed through the training process with respect to the dynamically-deployed feature values may be physical-environment-specific. Accordingly, in some embodiments, a parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is dynamically deployed in a new physical environment in the following manner: before sufficient training data entries for the new physical environment is obtained, parasomnia episode likelihood scores for particular time windows (e.g., particular pre-sleep windows, particular ongoing sleep windows, and/or the like) are generated using a preexisting parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model whose model input is not characterized by the dynamically-deployed features, but user feedback for the particular time windows is used to aggregate training data entries that are then used to train and deploy the parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model when sufficient training data entries are obtained/recorded for training the parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model. By using the noted techniques, various embodiments of the present invention ensure that a parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model whose expected input is associated with both statically-deployed features and dynamically-deployed features is only deployed when sufficiently trained, thus avoiding the accuracy and efficiency drawbacks of deploying insufficiently trained parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning models and in doing so improving real-time efficiency of performing parasomnia-related predictive data analysis for a monitored individual.

II. Definitions

The term “parasomnia episode” may describe an instance of occurrence of a sleep disorder that involves undesirable physical events or experiences that disrupt sleep. People suffering from parasomnia may suffer from repeated occurrences of extended, extremely dysphoric, and well-remembered dreams that usually involve efforts to avoid threats to survival, security, or physical integrity, and that generally occur during the second half of the major sleep episode. Parasomnia episodes often strong psychological, physical, or pharmacological stress and can exacerbate primary stress through nightmares. Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep is critically important to people suffering from parasomnia, especially to people suffering Chronic Nightmare Disorder.

The term “pre-sleep window” may refer to a data construct that describes a defined-length period of time prior to an expected/scheduled/detected sleep window of the monitored individual, such as a 12 hour period of time prior to an expected/scheduled/detected sleep window of a monitored individual. In some embodiments, a pre-sleep window is associated with pre-sleep individual monitoring data. Examples of pre-sleep individual monitoring data comprise at least one of an electrocardiogram (ECG) sequence for a pre-sleep window, an electroencephalogram (EEG) sequence for a pre-sleep window, a medication intake sequence for a pre-sleep window, a prescribed medication list for a pre-sleep window, a historical representation of a pre-sleep window that describes feature data associated with a preceding time window for the pre-sleep window, and a target substance intake sequence for a pre-sleep window.

The term “ongoing sleep window” may refer to a data construct that is configured to describe a defined-length period of time during an expected/scheduled/detected sleep window of a monitored individual, such as 10 minute period of time during an expected/scheduled/detected sleep window of the monitored individual.

The term “pre-sleep static data vector” may refer to a data construct that is configured to describe feature data associated with a monitored individual that are determined independent of pre-sleep monitoring data for the pre-sleep window. Examples of such static feature data include: demographic feature data, hormone level feature data, healthcare data associated with the monitored individual that are extracted from one or more electronic medical records (EMRs) associated with the monitored individual, diagnosis code data associated with the monitored individual, and/or the like. In some embodiments, the pre-sleep static data vector comprises a predefined number of one-hot-coded static feature values, where each one-hot-coded static feature value is determined based at least in part on particular static feature data (e.g., demographic profile data, diagnosis code data, EMR data, and/or the like) associated with the monitored individual.

The pre-sleep ECG sequence may be determined based at least in part on monitoring data captured using an ECG sensor device, such as an ECG sensor device that captures ECG measurement values using electrodes placed on the skin of the monitored individual.

The term “wave feature sequence” may refer to a data construct that is configured to describe a sequence of features for P-QRS-T segments for an ECG sequence (e.g., a pre-sleep ECG sequence, an in-sleep ECG sequence, and/or the like). A wave feature sequence may be generated by generating a sequence of P-QRS-T segments based at least in part on the ECG sequence and then determining, for each P-QRS-T segment, features that describe respective placement of the P wave, the QRS complex, and the T wave in the P-QRS-T segment. For example, each value in the wave feature sequence may describe one or more of the following features for a corresponding P-QRS-T segment that is associated with the wave feature sequence value: the PR interval of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment that describes the time from the beginning of the P wave of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment to the beginning of the QRS complex of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment, a QT interval of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment that describes the time from the beginning of the QRS complex of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment to the end of the T wave of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment, one or more features (e.g., a time period) of the QRS complex of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment, one or more features (e.g., a time period) of the sub-segment of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment that begins with the end of the QRS complex of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment and ends with the end of the T wave of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment, one or more features (e.g., a time period) of subsegment of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment that begins with the end of the QRS complex of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment and ends with the beginning of the T wave of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment, one or more features (e.g., a time period) of an ST subsegment of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment, one or more features (e.g., a time period) of a PR subsegment of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment, and/or the like.

The term “EEG frequency domain sequence” may refer to a data construct that is configured to describe a sequence that is generated based at least in part on the output of mapping an ECG sequence to a frequency domain using one or more Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) operations. Once generated, an EEG frequency domain sequence may be processed using a convolutional neural network machine learning model 614 (e.g., a one-dimensional convolutional neural network machine learning model) to generate a convolutional EEG frequency domain sequence that is then processed by an EEG frequency domain processing recurrent neural network machine learning model to generate an EEG frequency domain representation.

The term “pre-sleep EEG sequence” may refer to a data construct that describes a sequence of EEG measurement values, where: (i) each ECG measurement value may be recorded at a particular point-in-time of a covered time period that comprises the pre-sleep window, and (ii) the ordering of the sequence of EEG measurement values is determined based at least in part on a temporal ordering of point-in-times associated with the EEG measurement values. The pre-sleep EEG sequence may be determined based at least in part on monitoring data captured using an EEG sensor device, such as an EEG sensor device that captures EEG measurement values using electrodes placed on the scalp of the monitored individual.

The term “pre-sleep medication intake sequence” may refer to a data construct that describes a sequence of values (e.g., a sequence of one-hot-coded values), where each value describes that during a covered time period comprising a pre-sleep window a particular medication has been consumed by the monitored individual, and where the ordering of the sequence is determined based at least in part on the temporal ordering of the medication intakes within the covered time period. Once the pre-sleep medication intake sequence is generated/obtained, the pre-sleep medication intake sequence is processed by a medication intake feature processing recurrent neural network to generate a medication intake representation of the pre-sleep window.

The term “prescribed medication list” may refer to a data construct that describes a list (e.g., an array, a linked list, and/or the like) of values (e.g., a list of one-hot-coded values), where each value describes a prescribed medication identifier and/or a prescribed medication name for the monitored individual that is prescribed for a covered period that comprises the pre-sleep window. Once generated, a prescribed medication list may be processed by a list embedding machine learning model (e.g., a text embedding machine learning model) to generate a prescribed medication embedding for the pre-sleep window. In some embodiments, when the list embedding machine learning model is a text embedding machine learning model, the prescribed medication list is a string that is generated by concatenating all of the prescription names for all prescribed drugs associated with the monitored individual. In some embodiments, inputs to the list embedding machine learning model include one or more vectors describing the prescribed medication list, while the outputs of the list embedding machine learning model include a vector describing a prescribed medication embedding for the pre-sleep window.

In some embodiments, the pre-sleep historical representation is the model input of the pre-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model for a preceding time window for the pre-sleep window.

The term “pre-sleep target substance intake sequence” may refer to a data construct that describes a sequence of values (e.g., a sequence of one-hot-coded values), where each value describes that during a covered time period comprising the pre-sleep window a particular target substance (e.g., caffeine, alcohol, caffeine with a threshold-satisfying intake amount over a particular time interval, alcohol with a threshold-satisfying intake amount over a particular time interval, and/or the like) has been consumed by a monitored individual, and where the ordering of the sequence is determined based at least in part on the temporal ordering of the target substance intakes within the covered time period. Once the pre-sleep target substance intake sequence is generated/obtained, the pre-sleep target substance intake sequence may be processed by a target substance intake feature processing recurrent neural network to generate a target substance intake representation of the pre-sleep window.

Examples of such static feature data include: demographic feature data, hormone level feature data, healthcare data associated with the monitored individual that are extracted from one or more electronic medical records (EMRs) associated with the monitored individual, diagnosis code data associated with the monitored individual, and/or the like. In some embodiments, the in-sleep static data vector comprises a predefined number of one-hot-coded static feature values, where each one-hot-coded static feature value is determined based at least in part on particular static feature data (e.g., demographic profile data, diagnosis code data, EMR data, and/or the like) associated with the monitored individual. In some embodiments, the in-sleep static data vector further describes at least one of the pre-sleep parasomnia likelihood score for a pre-sleep window of the ongoing sleep window, the detected sleep stage of the ongoing sleep window, the detected sleep stage vector of the ongoing sleep window, feature data for a pre-sleep window of the ongoing sleep window, model input data of a pre-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model that is determined based at least in part on feature data of a pre-sleep window of the ongoing sleep window, and/or the like.

The term “in-sleep ECG sequence” may refer to a data construct that describes a sequence of ECG measurement values, where: (i) each ECG measurement value may be recorded at a particular point-in-time of a covered time period that comprises an ongoing sleep window, and (ii) the ordering of the sequence of ECG measurement values is determined based at least in part on a temporal ordering of point-in-times associated with the ECG measurement values.

The in-sleep EEG sequence may be determined based at least in part on monitoring data captured using an EEG sensor device, such as an EEG sensor device that captures EEG measurement values using electrodes placed on the scalp of the monitored individual.

The term “in-sleep movement measurement sequence” may refer to a data construct that describes one or more body movement measures for the monitored individual during a covered time period that comprises the ongoing sleep window. For example, the in-sleep movement measurement sequence may determine a sequence of point-in-time pressure/weight sensor measurements recorded by one or more sensor devices connected to various locations on a mattress of the monitored individual. Once an in-sleep movement measurement sequence is generated/obtained, a movement measurement frequency domain sequence may be generated based at least in part on the output of mapping the in-sleep movement measurement sequence to a frequency domain using one or more Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) operations. Once generated, the movement measurement frequency domain sequence may be processed using a convolutional neural network machine learning model (e.g., a one-dimensional convolutional neural network machine learning model) to generate a movement measurement frequency domain sequence that is then processed by a movement measurement feature processing recurrent neural network machine learning model to generate an in-sleep movement-based representation.

Once an in-sleep bedside audio sequence is generated/obtained, a bedside audio frequency domain sequence may be generated based at least in part on the output of mapping the in-sleep bedside audio sequence to a frequency domain using one or more Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) operations. Once generated, a bedside audio frequency domain sequence may be processed using a convolutional neural network machine learning model (e.g., a one-dimensional convolutional neural network machine learning model) to generate a bedside audio frequency domain sequence that is then processed by a bedside audio feature processing recurrent neural network machine learning model to generate an in-sleep audio-based representation of an ongoing sleep window.

The term “in-sleep facial feature sequence” may refer to a data construct that describes a sequence of point-in-time images and/or image-based features captured based at least in part on output data of a camera device that is configured to capture images of the face of the monitored individual during a covered time period that comprises the ongoing sleep window. Once the in-sleep facial feature sequence is generated/obtained, an in-sleep facial feature sequence may be processed using an emotion detection machine learning model to detect an in-sleep emotional sequence that describes a sequence of emotional designations for the monitored individual during the covered time period. For example, the emotion detection machine learning model may process, for each time unit of the covered time, an emotional designation based at least in part on the facial image for the time unit, and then combine the emotional designations based at least in part on a temporal order of the time units to generate the in-sleep emotional sequence. As another example, the emotion detection machine learning model may process, for each time unit of the covered time, an emotional designation vector based at least in part on the facial image for the time unit, and then combine the emotional designation vectors based at least in part on a temporal order of the time units to generate the in-sleep emotional sequence.

The term “recommended parasomnia reduction intervention” may refer to a data construct that describes a set of actions that are configured to reduce the likelihood of parasomnia episode occurrence during an ongoing sleep window and/or to reduce the effects of an occurred parasomnia episode on an individual. Examples of recommended parasomnia reduction interventions include: (i) recommended pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention, (ii) recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions, and (iii) recommended post-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions.

The term “recommended pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention” may refer to a data construct that describes a set of actions that, when performed (e.g., by a monitored individual) during a pre-sleep window, are configured to reduce the pre-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood score of the pre-sleep window with respect to a sleep window that follows the pre-sleep window. In some embodiments, to select a recommended pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention from a set of candidate pre-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions for a particular pre-sleep window, a pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention machine learning model may be used to generate a conditional likelihood score for each candidate pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention, and then the recommended pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention may be selected based at least in part on each conditional likelihood score. For example, the recommended pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention may be selected as the candidate pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention having the lowest conditional likelihood score of all of the conditional likelihood scores of the set of candidate pre-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions. As another example, the recommended pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention may be generated based at least in part on a combination of each candidate pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention whose conditional likelihood score satisfies (e.g., falls below) a conditional likelihood score threshold. In some embodiments, to select the recommended pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention from the set of candidate pre-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions for a pre-sleep window, a pre-sleep window representation of the pre-sleep window (e.g., a pre-sleep window representation that is determined based at least in part on a model input of a pre-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model for the pre-sleep window) is used to generate an existing state of the pre-sleep environment that may then be supplied to a deep reinforcement learning machine learning model, where the deep reinforcement machine learning model may be configured to select the recommended pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention in a manner that is configured to maximize a value generation sub-model (e.g., a Q function) of the deep reinforcement machine learning model given the existing state defined by the pre-sleep window representation.

The term “recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention” may refer to a data construct describes a set of electronic device operations that, when performed by particular electronic devices during an ongoing sleep window, modify a sleep environment of the ongoing sleep window to reduce the in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood score for the sleep window. In some embodiments, to select a recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention from a set of candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions for a particular ongoing sleep window, an in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention machine learning model may be used to generate a conditional likelihood score for each candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention, and then the recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention may be selected based at least in part on each conditional likelihood score. For example, the recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention may be selected as the candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention having the lowest conditional likelihood score of all of the conditional likelihood scores of the set of candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions. As another example, the recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention may be generated based at least in part on a combination of each candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention whose conditional likelihood score satisfies (e.g., falls below) a conditional likelihood score threshold. In some embodiments, to select the recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention from the set of candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions for an ongoing sleep window, an ongoing sleep time representation of the ongoing sleep window (e.g., an ongoing sleep time representation that is determined based at least in part on a model input of an in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model for the ongoing sleep window) is used to generate an existing state of the environment that may then be supplied to a deep reinforcement learning machine learning model, where the deep reinforcement learning machine learning model may be configured to select the recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention in a manner that is configured to maximize a value generation sub-model (e.g., a Q function) of the deep reinforcement machine learning model given the existing state defined by the ongoing sleep time representation.

The term “recommended post-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention” may refer to a data construct that describes a set of actions that when performed (e.g., by a monitored individual) during a post-sleep window that follows an ongoing sleep window, are likely to reduce the harmful effects of a parasomnia episode that is detected/recorded to have occurred during the ongoing sleep window. In some embodiments, a recommended post-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention is selected from a set of candidate post-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions. In some of the noted embodiments, to select the recommended post-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention from the set of candidate pre-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions for a post-sleep window, a post-sleep window representation may be generated for the post-sleep window based at least in part on the ongoing sleep window representation for an ongoing sleep window that precedes the post-sleep window and/or the pre-sleep window representation for a pre-sleep window that precedes the ongoing sleep window. The post-sleep window representation may then be used to generate an existing state of the post-sleep environment that may then be supplied to a deep reinforcement learning machine learning model, where the deep reinforcement learning machine learning model may be configured to select the recommended post-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention in a manner that is configured to maximize a value generation sub-model (e.g., a Q function) of the deep reinforcement machine learning model given the existing state defined by the pre-sleep window representation.

The term “dynamically deployed parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model” may refer to a data construct that is configured to a parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model (e.g., an in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model) whose expected input includes values corresponding to both statically-deployed features and dynamically-deployed features. The statically-deployed feature values may describe those feature values that can be interpreted without regard to the physical environment in which the parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is used, while the dynamically-deployed feature values may describe those feature values whose interpretation is dependent on the physical environment in which the parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is used. For example, the ECG sequence may correspond to a statically-deployed feature, because the EEG sequence of a monitored individual can be interpreted independently and without regard to the physical environment of the monitored individual. As another example, the beside audio sequence may correspond to a dynamically-deployed feature, as the significance of captured audio signals is a function of various physical environment features, such as the distance of the audio recording device to a monitored individual. Accordingly, in some embodiments, because the model input of a parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is associated with statically-deployed features and dynamically-deployed features, a trained parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model that is trained in one physical environment cannot reliably be deployed in a second physical environment, as the predictive model developed through the training process with respect to the dynamically-deployed feature values may be physical-environment-specific. Accordingly, in some embodiments, a parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is dynamically deployed in a new physical environment in the following manner: before sufficient training data entries for the new physical environment is obtained, parasomnia episode likelihood scores for particular time windows (e.g., particular pre-sleep windows, particular ongoing sleep windows, and/or the like) are generated using a preexisting parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model whose model input is not characterized by the dynamically-deployed features, but user feedback for the particular time windows is used to aggregate training data entries that are then used to train and deploy the parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model when sufficient training data entries are obtained/recorded for training the parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model.

The term “deployment indicator” may refer to a data construct that describes whether a dynamically-deployed parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is deployed in a particular physical environment. In some embodiments, the deployment indicator for a dynamically-deployed parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is either an affirmative deployment indicator describing that the parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is deployed, or a negative deployment indicator describing that the parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is not deployed. In some embodiments, the deployment indicator is determined based at least in part on whether the dynamically-deployed parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is deployed, the dynamically-deployed parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is deployed when one or more dynamic deployment conditions are satisfied, the one or more dynamic deployment conditions comprise a first condition requiring that a training data entry count of a training data entry set satisfies a training data entry count threshold, the parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model may be generated based at least in part on the training data entry set, and each training data entry in the training data entry set is associated with a training model input and a target model output.

The term “dynamic deployment condition” may refer to a data construct that describes a required condition that, if not satisfied, will prevent the deployment of a dynamically-deployed parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is deployed in a particular physical environment to generate predictive inferences (e.g., parasomnia episode likelihood predictions) with respect to the particular physical environment. In some embodiments, the dynamically-deployed parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is only deployed when a set of dynamic deployment conditions are satisfied, where the set of dynamic deployment conditions may comprise a first condition requiring that a training data entry count of a training data entry set that is used to generate the dynamically-deployed parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model satisfies (e.g., exceeds) a threshold. In some embodiments, the set of dynamic deployment conditions comprise other conditions, such as a second condition requiring that a deviation measure for the dynamically-deployed parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model and a centralized parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model satisfies a deviation measure threshold. In some embodiments, the centralized parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is a parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model that is determined based at least in part on aggregating trained parameter data for one or more decentralized parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning models and by using one or more federated learning techniques.

The architecture 100 includes a predictive data analysis system 101 configured to receive predictive data analysis requests from client computing entities 102, process the predictive data analysis requests to generate predictions, provide the generated predictions to the client computing entities 102, and automatically perform prediction-based actions based at least in part on the generated predictions.

To generate predictions, the predictive data analysis computing entity 106 may use data provided by one or more sensor devices 103 and/or by one or more database systems (e.g., one or more electronic medical record database systems). To perform prediction-based actions, the predictive data analysis computing entity 106 may send instructions/signals to stimulation devices 104 and/or one or more client devices in order to cause the noted devices to perform prediction-based actions. An example of a prediction that may be generated by the predictive data analysis system 101 is a parasomnia episode likelihood score and/or a recommended parasomnia reduction intervention. An example of a prediction-based action that can be performed using the predictive data analysis system 101 is causing one or more simulation devices and/or one or more client devices to perform actions to modify a sleep environment of a monitored individual to a state defined by a recommended parasomnia reduction intervention.

Examples of sensory data that may be provided by the sensor devices 103 include at least one of ECG data for blood alcohol level measurements for an ongoing sleep window (e.g., as determined based at least in part on output data of an epidermal patch and/or wrist band sensor device), noradrenaline hormone level measurements for an ongoing sleep window (e.g., as determined based at least in part on output data of an epidermal patch sensor device), norepinephrine hormone level measurements for an ongoing sleep window (e.g., as determined based at least in part on output data of an epidermal patch sensor device), ECG/pulse measurements for an ongoing sleep window (e.g., as determined based at least in part on output data of EEG sensor device, such as an EEG sensor device connected to a wrist band of the monitored individual), EEG measurements for an ongoing sleep window (e.g., as determined based at least in part on output data of an EEG sensor device, such as an EEG sensor device connected to a head band of the monitored individual), electrooculogram (EOG) measurements for an ongoing sleep window (e.g., as determined based at least in part on output data of an EOG sensor device, such as an EOG sensor device connected to a face of the monitored individual), electromyogram (EMG) measurements for an ongoing sleep window (e.g., as determined based at least in part on output data of an EMG sensor device, such as an EMG sensor device connected to a face of the monitored individual), blood oxygen levels for an ongoing sleep window (as determined based at least in part on output data of a sensor device, such as a sensor device connected to a wrist band of the monitored individual), skin conductance response measurements for an ongoing sleep window (e.g., as determined based at least in part on output data of an epidermal patch sensor device), facial expression data for an ongoing sleep window (e.g., as determined based at least in part on output of an infrared camera), audio data for an ongoing sleep window (e.g., as determined based at least in part on output of a microphone recorder), ambient light data of a sleeping room for an ongoing sleep window, ambient temperature data of a sleeping room of an ongoing sleep window (e.g., as determined based at least in part on an air-conditioning system interface of an air-conditioning system of the sleeping room), smart speaker command data for an ongoing sleep window, and/or the like.

Examples of recommended parasomnia reduction interventions include: (i) recommended pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention, (ii) recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions, and (iii) recommended post-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions.

In some embodiments, each candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention may be associated with an intervention vector that describes a unique combination of values for a set of operational parameter values. For example, a particular candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention may be associated with an intervention vector that describes a particular ambient light projection level, a particular vibration intensity, a particular ambient sound projection type (e.g., a particular music track, voice of the monitored individual, voice of a person close to the monitored individual, and/or the like), a particular ambient sound projection intensity level, a particular room temperature setpoint as set via an air conditioning system or other space heater system, a particular room temperature level for an environment of the candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention, and/or the like.

An exemplary intervention vector may have the form A_(t)=[ambient_light_level, watch_vibration_intensity, ambient_sound_type, ambient_sound_intensity, . . . ]. In some embodiments, the particular room temperature level of a target physical environment may be set based at least in part on an optimal candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention that is determined to be best suited to reduce probability and/or intensity of occurrence of parasomnia episodes during a monitored sleep session of a target individual.

In some embodiments, predictive data analysis system 101 may communicate with at least one of the client computing entities 102 using one or more communication networks. Examples of communication networks include any wired or wireless communication network including, for example, a wired or wireless local area network (LAN), personal area network (PAN), metropolitan area network (MAN), wide area network (WAN), or the like, as well as any hardware, software and/or firmware required to implement it (such as, e.g., network routers, and/or the like).

The predictive data analysis system 101 may include a predictive data analysis computing entity 106 and a storage subsystem 108. The predictive data analysis computing entity 106 may be configured to receive predictive data analysis requests from one or more client computing entities 102, process the predictive data analysis requests to generate predictions corresponding to the predictive data analysis requests, provide the generated predictions to the client computing entities 102, and automatically perform prediction-based actions based at least in part on the generated predictions.

V. Exemplary System Operations

FIG. 4 is a flowchart diagram of an example process for performing parasomnia-related predictive data analysis for a monitored individual. Via the various steps/operations of the process 400, a predictive data analysis computing entity 106 can use monitoring data associated with an individual to perform at least one of: (i) pre-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction during a pre-sleep window, (ii) in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction during an ongoing sleep window, (iii) pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention recommendation, (iv) in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention recommendation, (v) post-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention recommendation, and (vi) dynamic deployment of a parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model. However, while various embodiments of the present invention describe all of the described functionalities as being performed by a single computing entity, a person of ordinary skill in the relevant technology will recognize that each described functionality may be performed by any number of computing entities that may or may not include at least one computing entity used to perform one or more other described functionalities.

The process 400 begins at step/operation 401 when the predictive data analysis computing entity 106 obtains pre-sleep individual monitoring data for a pre-sleep window (e.g., a defined-length period of time prior to an expected/scheduled/detected sleep window of the monitored individual, such as a 12 hour period of time). Examples of pre-sleep individual monitoring data comprise at least one of an ECG sequence for a pre-sleep window, an EEG sequence for a pre-sleep window, a medication intake sequence for a pre-sleep window, a prescribed medication list for a pre-sleep window, a historical representation of a pre-sleep window that describes feature data associated with a preceding time window for the pre-sleep window, and a target substance intake sequence for a pre-sleep window.

At step/operation 402, the predictive data analysis computing entity 106 processes the pre-sleep individual monitoring data using a pre-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model to generate a pre-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood score for the pre-sleep window. The pre-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model may be configured to process a pre-sleep model input that may be generated based at least in part on the pre-sleep individual monitoring data for a pre-sleep window in order to generate a pre-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood score that describes a predicted likelihood that a sleep window following the pre-sleep window causes occurrence of one or more parasomnia episodes. In some embodiments, generating a pre-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood score is performed in accordance with the process 500 that is described below in Subsection A of the present Section V.

In some embodiments, a pre-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is an example of a parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model that can, in some embodiments, be dynamically deployed. Examples of dynamic deployment techniques for parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning models are described in Subsection F of the present Section V.

At step/operation 403, the predictive data analysis computing entity 106 obtains in-sleep individual monitoring data for an ongoing sleep window (e.g., a defined-length period of time during an expected/scheduled/detected sleep window of the monitored individual, such as 10 minute period of time). Examples of in-sleep individual monitoring data comprise at least one of ECG data for blood alcohol level measurements for an ongoing sleep window (e.g., as determined based at least in part on output data of an epidermal patch and/or wrist band sensor device), noradrenaline hormone level measurements for an ongoing sleep window (e.g., as determined based at least in part on output data of an epidermal patch sensor device), norepinephrine hormone level measurements for an ongoing sleep window (e.g., as determined based at least in part on output data of an epidermal patch sensor device), ECG/pulse measurements for an ongoing sleep window (e.g., as determined based at least in part on output data of EEG sensor device, such as an EEG sensor device connected to a wrist band of the monitored individual), EEG measurements for an ongoing sleep window (e.g., as determined based at least in part on output data of an EEG sensor device, such as an EEG sensor device connected to a head band of the monitored individual), electrooculogram (EOG) measurements for an ongoing sleep window (e.g., as determined based at least in part on output data of an EOG sensor device, such as an EOG sensor device connected to a face of the monitored individual), electromyogram (EMG) measurements for an ongoing sleep window (e.g., as determined based at least in part on output data of an EMG sensor device, such as an EMG sensor device connected to a face of the monitored individual), blood oxygen levels for an ongoing sleep window (as determined based at least in part on output data of a sensor device, such as a sensor device connected to a wrist band of the monitored individual), skin conductance response measurements for an ongoing sleep window (e.g., as determined based at least in part on output data of an epidermal patch sensor device), facial expression data for an ongoing sleep window (e.g., as determined based at least in part on output of an infrared camera), audio data for an ongoing sleep window (e.g., as determined based at least in part on output of a microphone recorder), ambient light data of a sleeping room for an ongoing sleep window, ambient temperature data of a sleeping room of an ongoing sleep window (e.g., as determined based at least in part on an air-conditioning system interface of an air-conditioning system of the sleeping room), smart speaker command data for an ongoing sleep window, and/or the like.

At step/operation 404, the predictive data analysis computing entity 106 determines a detected sleep stage for the ongoing sleep window based at least in part on the in-sleep individual monitoring data for the ongoing sleep window. The sleep stage may be selected from a set of potential sleep stages, where the set of potential sleep stages may include at least one of a rapid eye movement (REM) sleep stage, a non-REM sleep stage, an awakened stage, a deep sleep stage, a gradual awakening stage, and/or the like. In some embodiments, the sleep stage is determined based at least in part on processing the in-sleep individual monitoring data using a sleep stage detection machine learning model to generate the detected sleep stage. In some embodiments, the inputs to the sleep stage detection machine learning model include at least one vector describing in-sleep individual monitoring data for the ongoing sleep window, while output of the sleep stage detection machine learning model include a vector that describes, with each vector value of n vector values, the predicted likelihood that the ongoing sleep window is associated with a respective sleep stage of n potential sleep stages.

At step/operation 405, the predictive data analysis computing entity 106 determines, based at least in part on the pre-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood score, the ongoing sleep window, and the detected sleep stage, and using a pre-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model, an in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood score for the ongoing sleep window. The in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model may be configured to process an in-sleep model input that may be generated based at least in part on the in-sleep individual monitoring data for an ongoing sleep window, the pre-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood score for a pre-sleep window that is associated with the ongoing sleep window, and/or a detected sleep stage for the ongoing sleep window in order to generate an in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood score that describes a predicted likelihood that, during a current ongoing sleep window, a monitored individual is experiencing one or more parasomnia episodes. In some embodiments, generating an in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood score is performed in accordance with the process 700 that is described below in Subsection B of the present Section V.

In some embodiments, an in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is an example of a parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model that can, in some embodiments, be dynamically deployed. Examples of dynamic deployment techniques for parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning models are described in Subsection F of the present Section V.

At step/operation 406, the predictive data analysis computing entity 106 determines (e.g., in response to determining that the in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood score satisfies an in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood score threshold) a recommended parasomnia reduction intervention for the ongoing sleep window (referred to herein as a recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention). In some embodiments, a recommended parasomnia reduction intervention may describe a set of actions that are configured to reduce the likelihood of parasomnia episode occurrence during an ongoing sleep window and/or to reduce the effects of an occurred parasomnia episode on an individual. Examples of recommended parasomnia reduction interventions include: (i) recommended pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention, (ii) recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions, and (iii) recommended post-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions.

In some embodiments, a recommended pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention describes a set of actions that, when performed (e.g., by a monitored individual) during a pre-sleep window, are configured to reduce the pre-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood score of the pre-sleep window with respect to a sleep window that follows the pre-sleep window. Exemplary techniques for generating pre-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions are described in Subsection C of the present Section V.

In some embodiments, a recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention describes a set of electronic device operations that, when performed by particular electronic devices during an ongoing sleep window, modify a sleep environment of the ongoing sleep window to reduce the in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood score for the sleep window. Exemplary techniques for generating in-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions are described in Subsection D of the present Section V.

In some embodiments, a recommended post-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention describes a set of actions that when performed (e.g., by a monitored individual) during a post-sleep window that follows an ongoing sleep window, are likely to reduce the harmful effects of a parasomnia episode that is detected/recorded to have occurred during the ongoing sleep window. Exemplary techniques for generating post-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions are described in Subsection E of the present Section V.

At step/operation 407, the predictive data analysis computing entity 106 causes one or more electronic devices in the in-sleep environment of the ongoing sleep window to perform the recommended parasomnia reduction intervention. In some embodiments, the operations of the electronic devices are configured to deliver arousal stimulus to the monitored individual in a gradual manner. In some embodiments, the electronic devices comprise one or more stimulus generators such as one or more audio stimulus generators (e.g., audio stimulus generators broadcasting pre-recorded audio data, auto-generated audio data such as audio data generated using a generative adversarial network, and/or the like), one or more tactile stimulus generators, one or more visual (e.g., light) stimulus generators, and/or the like.

At step/operation 408, subsequent to the execution of operations corresponding to the recommended parasomnia reduction intervention, the predictive data analysis computing entity 106 determines whether a new in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood score that is determined based at least in part on a newly-captured ongoing sleep window that occurs after performance of the recommended parasomnia reduction intervention satisfies (e.g., falls below) the in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood score threshold. If so, the predictive data analysis computing entity 106 proceeds to, at step/operation 409, record this observation about effectiveness of the recommended parasomnia reduction intervention among the feedback data that may then be used to update/retrain/regenerate models used to generate recommended parasomnia reduction interventions. However, if the new in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood score fails to satisfy the in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood score, the predictive data analysis computing entity 106 proceeds to generate a new recommended parasomnia reduction intervention based at least in part on the ongoing sleep window representation of the newly-captured ongoing sleep window.

A. Generating Pre-Sleep Parasomnia Episode Likelihood Scores

FIG. 5 is a data flow diagram of an example process 500 for generating a pre-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood score 571 for a monitored individual. As depicted in FIG. 5 , the pre-sleep individual monitoring data 501 used to generate a pre-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood score 571 include: (i) a pre-sleep static data vector 511 for the monitored individual, (ii) a pre-sleep ECG sequence 512 for the pre-sleep window, (iii) a pre-sleep EEG sequence 513 for the pre-sleep window, (iv) a pre-sleep medication intake sequence 514 for the pre-sleep window, (v) a prescribed medication list 515 for the pre-sleep window, (vi) a pre-sleep historical representation 516 of a pre-sleep window that describes feature data associated with a preceding time window for the pre-sleep window, and (vii) a pre-sleep target substance intake sequence 517 for the pre-sleep window. A person of ordinary skill in the relevant technology will recognize that all operations described herein (with respect to FIG. 5 or other figures) as being performed by a recurrent neural network machine learning model can be performed by using one or more machine learning models that may include machine learning models other than recurrent neural network machine learning models (e.g., that may include, for example, fully connected feedforward neural network machine learning models).

The pre-sleep static data vector 511 may describe static feature data associated with the monitored individual that are determined independent of pre-sleep monitoring data for the pre-sleep window. Examples of such static feature data include: demographic feature data, hormone level feature data, healthcare data associated with the monitored individual that are extracted from one or more electronic medical records (EMRs) associated with the monitored individual, diagnosis code data associated with the monitored individual, and/or the like. In some embodiments, the pre-sleep static data vector 511 comprises a predefined number of one-hot-coded static feature values, where each one-hot-coded static feature value is determined based at least in part on particular static feature data (e.g., demographic profile data, diagnosis code data, EMR data, and/or the like) associated with the monitored individual.

The pre-sleep ECG sequence 512 may describe a sequence of ECG measurement values, where: (i) each ECG measurement value may be recorded at a particular point-in-time of a covered time period that comprises the pre-sleep window, and (ii) the ordering of the sequence of ECG measurement values is determined based at least in part on a temporal ordering of point-in-times associated with the ECG measurement values. The pre-sleep ECG sequence 512 may be determined based at least in part on monitoring data captured using an ECG sensor device, such as an ECG sensor device that captures ECG measurement values using electrodes placed on the skin of the monitored individual. In some embodiments, the covered time period for the pre-sleep ECG sequence 512 is different from the covered time period for at least one other pre-sleep individual monitoring data type discussed in this Subsection.

As depicted in FIG. 5 , the pre-sleep ECG sequence 512 may be processed by a pre-sleep ECG sequence processing machine learning framework 521 to generate a set of pre-sleep ECG representations 531. In some embodiments, each pre-sleep ECG representation is a representation of the pre-sleep window that may be generated based at least in part on the ECG sequence for the pre-sleep window. In some embodiments, generating the set of pre-sleep ECG representations 531 for a pre-sleep window based at least in part on the pre-sleep ECG sequence 512 for the pre-sleep window may be performed using a pre-sleep ECG sequence processing machine learning framework 521, such as the pre-sleep ECG sequence processing machine learning framework 521 that is depicted in FIG. 6 and described in greater detail below. As depicted in FIG. 6 , the pre-sleep ECG sequence processing machine learning framework 521 first extracts the following sequences from the pre-sleep ECG sequence 512: (i) a wave feature sequence 601, (ii) a heart rate feature sequence 602, (iii) a pulse feature sequence 603, and (iv) an EEG frequency domain sequence 604.

The wave feature sequence 601 may be generated by generating a sequence of P-QRS-T segments based at least in part on the pre-sleep ECG sequence 512 and then determining, for each P-QRS-T segment, features that describe respective placement of the P wave, the QRS complex, and the T wave in the P-QRS-T segment. For example, each value in the wave feature sequence 601 may describe one or more of the following features for a corresponding P-QRS-T segment that is associated with the wave feature sequence value: the PR interval of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment that describes the time from the beginning of the P wave of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment to the beginning of the QRS complex of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment, a QT interval of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment that describes the time from the beginning of the QRS complex of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment to the end of the T wave of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment, one or more features (e.g., a time period) of the QRS complex of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment, one or more features (e.g., a time period) of the sub-segment of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment that begins with the end of the QRS complex of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment and ends with the end of the T wave of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment, one or more features (e.g., a time period) of the subsegment of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment that begins with the end of the QRS complex of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment and ends with the beginning of the T wave of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment, one or more features (e.g., a time period) of an ST subsegment of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment, one or more features (e.g., a time period) of a PR subsegment of the corresponding P-QRS-T segment, and/or the like.

Once generated, the wave feature sequence 601 may be processed by a wave feature processing recurrent neural network machine learning model 611 to generate a wave-based representation 621 of the pre-sleep window, which may be an example of a pre-sleep ECG representation. The wave feature processing recurrent neural network machine learning model 611 may be configured, at each nth non-initial timestep of a set of timesteps, process an nth value (e.g., an atomic value, a vector, and/or the like) of the wave feature sequence 601 and a hidden state value of a preceding timestep to generate a hidden state, where the wave-based representation 621 may be generated based at least in part on a hidden state of a final timestep of the set of timesteps. In some embodiments, during an initial timestep, the wave feature processing recurrent neural network machine learning model 611 is configured to process a first value of the wave feature sequence 601 and a default hidden state value to generate a hidden state, where the hidden state may then be passed as an input to a second timestep of the wave feature processing recurrent neural network machine learning model 611. In some embodiments, the wave feature processing recurrent neural network machine learning model 611 comprises at least one of a conventional recurrent neural network, a long short term memory recurrent neural network, a gated recurrent unit recurrent neural network, and/or the like. In some embodiments, each hidden state of a timestep of the wave feature processing recurrent neural network machine learning model 611 is a vector.

The heart rate feature sequence 602 may be generated by generating a heart rate value for each ECG measurement value described by the pre-sleep ECG sequence 512. Once generated, the heart rate feature sequence 602 may be processed by a heart rate feature processing recurrent neural network machine learning model 612 to generate a heart-rate-based representation 622 of the pre-sleep window, which may be an example of a pre-sleep ECG representation. The heart rate feature processing recurrent neural network machine learning model 612 may be configured, at each nth non-initial timestep of a set of timesteps, process an nth value (e.g., an atomic value, a vector, and/or the like) of the heart rate feature sequence 602 and a hidden state value of a preceding timestep to generate a hidden state, where the heart-rate-based representation 622 may be generated based at least in part on a hidden state of a final timestep of the set of timesteps.

As described herein, various embodiments of the present invention improve real-time efficiency of performing parasomnia-related predictive data analysis for a monitored individual by introducing techniques that enable integrating pre-sleep predictive inferences into in-sleep predictive inferences in order to generate in-sleep predictive inferences faster. For example, in some embodiments, both pre-sleep models and in-sleep models are configured to process data having common feature types, such as an ECG feature sequence, an EGG feature sequence, and/or the like. By using this technique, various embodiments of the present invention impose a conceptual relationship between the predictive inferences performed by pre-sleep models and predictive inferences performed by in-sleep models, which in turn makes pre-sleep predictive inferences more pertinent to in-sleep predictive inferences and thus enables making in-sleep models more efficient and faster by integrating pre-sleep predictive inferences into such models. This is critical for operational reliability of real-time parasomnia detection/intervention models, as due to health reasons time is of the essence when it comes to harm reduction objectives of such models. Accordingly, various embodiments of the present invention make important technical contributions to improving real-time efficiency of performing parasomnia-related predictive data analysis for a monitored individual by introducing techniques that facilitate effective integration of pre-sleep feedback into in-sleep predictive inferences of parasomnia detection/intervention models.

In some embodiments, during an initial timestep, the movement measurement feature processing recurrent neural network machine learning model 723 is configured to process a first value of the convolutional movement measurement frequency domain sequence 744 and a default hidden state value to generate a hidden state, where the hidden state may then be passed as an input to a second timestep of the movement measurement feature processing recurrent neural network machine learning model 723.

In some embodiments, during an initial timestep, the bedside audio feature processing recurrent neural network machine learning model 724 is configured to process a first value of the bedside audio frequency domain sequence 746 and a default hidden state value to generate a hidden state, where the hidden state may then be passed as an input to a second timestep of the bedside audio feature processing recurrent neural network machine learning model 724. In some embodiments, the bedside audio feature processing recurrent neural network machine learning model 724 comprises at least one of a conventional recurrent neural network, a long short term memory recurrent neural network, a gated recurrent unit recurrent neural network, and/or the like. In some embodiments, each hidden state of a timestep of the bedside audio feature processing recurrent neural network machine learning model 724 is a vector.

The in-sleep facial feature sequence 716 may describe a plurality of point-in-time images and/or image-based features captured based at least in part on output data of a camera device that is configured to capture images of the face of the monitored individual during a covered time period that comprises the ongoing sleep window. In some embodiments, the covered time period for the in-sleep facial feature sequence 716 is different from the covered time period for at least one other in-sleep individual monitoring data type discussed in this Subsection.

Once the in-sleep facial feature sequence 716 is generated/obtained, the in-sleep facial feature sequence 716 may be processed using an emotion detection machine learning model to detect an in-sleep emotional sequence 747 that describes a sequence of emotional designations for the monitored individual during the covered time period. For example, the emotion detection machine learning model may process, for each time unit of the covered time, an emotional designation based at least in part on the facial image for the time unit, and then combine the emotional designations based at least in part on a temporal order of the time units to generate the in-sleep emotional sequence 747.

Once generated/obtained, the in-sleep thermal camera output sequence 717 may be processed by a convolutional neural network machine learning model (e.g., a two-dimensional convolutional neural network machine learning model) to generate a convolutional thermal sequence 748. The convolutional thermal sequence 748 may then be processed by a convolutional thermal sequence processing recurrent neural network machine learning model 726 to generate a convolutional thermal sequence representation 736 of the ongoing sleep window.

Once generated/obtained, the in-sleep thermal camera output sequence 717 may be used to generate a body temperature sequence 749 that may describe a sequence of point-in-time body temperature measurement estimates for the monitored individual based at least in part on the in-sleep thermal camera output sequence 717. The body temperature sequence 749 may then be processed by a temperature feature processing recurrent neural network machine learning model 727 to generate a temperature representation 737 of the ongoing sleep window. The temperature feature processing recurrent neural network machine learning model 727 may be configured, at each nth non-initial timestep of a set of timesteps, process an nth value (e.g., an atomic value, a vector, and/or the like) of the body temperature sequence 749 and a hidden state value of a preceding timestep to generate a hidden state, where the temperature representation 737 be generated based at least in part on a hidden state of a final timestep of the set of timesteps. In some embodiments, during an initial timestep, the temperature feature processing recurrent neural network machine learning model 727 is configured to process a first value of the body temperature sequence 749 and a default hidden state value to generate a hidden state, where the hidden state may then be passed as an input to a second timestep of the temperature feature processing recurrent neural network machine learning model 727. In some embodiments, the temperature feature processing recurrent neural network machine learning model 727 comprises at least one of a conventional recurrent neural network, a long short term memory recurrent neural network, a gated recurrent unit recurrent neural network, and/or the like. In some embodiments, each hidden state of a timestep of the temperature feature processing recurrent neural network machine learning model 727 is a vector.

Once generated/obtained, the in-sleep static data vector 711, the set of in-sleep ECG representations 731, the in-sleep EEG-based representation 732, the in-sleep movement-based representation 733, the in-sleep audio-based representation 734, the in-sleep emotional representation 735, the convolutional thermal sequence representation 736, and the temperature representation 737 are combined (e.g., concatenated, merged, averaged, summed up, and/or the like) by a feature merging machine learning model 781 to generate a model input 751 for the in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model 761. The inputs to the feature merging machine learning model may include n inputs, where each input may be a vector or an atomic value, while the outputs of the feature merging machine learning model may include a model input vector.

The model input 751 for the in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model 761 may then processed by the in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model 761 to generate the in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood score 771 for a monitored individual for the ongoing sleep window. The in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model 761 may comprise a dense neural network and/or a fully-connected neural network.

As described in this subsection and the preceding subsection, various embodiments of the present invention improve real-time efficiency of performing parasomnia-related predictive data analysis for a monitored individual by introducing techniques that enable integrating pre-sleep predictive inferences into in-sleep predictive inferences in order to generate in-sleep predictive inferences faster. For example, in some embodiments, both pre-sleep models and in-sleep models are configured to process data having common feature types, such as an ECG feature sequence, an EGG feature sequence, and/or the like. By using this technique, various embodiments of the present invention impose a conceptual relationship between the predictive inferences performed by pre-sleep models and predictive inferences performed by in-sleep models, which in turn makes pre-sleep predictive inferences more pertinent to in-sleep predictive inferences and thus enables making in-sleep models more efficient and faster by integrating pre-sleep predictive inferences into such models. This is critical for operational reliability of real-time parasomnia detection/intervention models, as due to health reasons time is of the essence when it comes to harm reduction objectives of such models. Accordingly, various embodiments of the present invention make important technical contributions to improving real-time efficiency of performing parasomnia-related predictive data analysis for a monitored individual by introducing techniques that facilitate effective integration of pre-sleep feedback into in-sleep predictive inferences of parasomnia detection/intervention models.

C. Generating Recommended Pre-Sleep Parasomnia Reduction Interventions

In some embodiments, a recommended pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention is selected from a set of candidate pre-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions. In some of the noted embodiments, to select the recommended pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention from the set of candidate pre-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions, a pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention machine learning model is used, where the pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention machine learning model may have an architecture that is similar to the architecture of a pre-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model except that, in addition to the inputs of the pre-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model, the pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention machine learning model takes an intervention representation (e.g., a vector representation, such as a one-hot-coded representation) of a particular candidate pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention as an additional input. In some of the noted embodiments, given a set of inputs that is determined based at least in part on the pre-sleep individual monitoring data for a pre-sleep window and an additional input that is associated with a particular candidate pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention, the output of the pre-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is a conditional likelihood score that describes a likelihood that a sleep window following the pre-sleep window will include parasomnia episodes if the particular candidate pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention is performed during the pre-sleep window and/or before the sleep window.

Accordingly, in some embodiments, to select a recommended pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention from a set of candidate pre-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions for a particular pre-sleep window, a pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention machine learning model may be used to generate a conditional likelihood score for each candidate pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention, and then the recommended pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention may be selected based at least in part on each conditional likelihood score. For example, the recommended pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention may be selected as the candidate pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention having the lowest conditional likelihood score of all of the conditional likelihood scores of the set of candidate pre-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions. As another example, the recommended pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention may be generated based at least in part on a combination of each candidate pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention whose conditional likelihood score satisfies (e.g., falls below) a conditional likelihood score threshold.

In some embodiments, to select the recommended pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention from the set of candidate pre-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions for a pre-sleep window, a pre-sleep window representation of the pre-sleep window (e.g., a pre-sleep window representation that is determined based at least in part on a model input of a pre-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model for the pre-sleep window) is used to generate an existing state of the pre-sleep environment that may then be supplied to a deep reinforcement learning machine learning model, where the deep reinforcement machine learning model may be configured to select the recommended pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention in a manner that is configured to maximize a value generation sub-model (e.g., a Q function) of the deep reinforcement machine learning model given the existing state defined by the pre-sleep window representation.

For example, in some embodiments, each candidate pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention may be defined by an intervention vector that is characterized by a unique combination of values for a set of pre-sleep operational parameter values (e.g., a unique combination of a value for a pre-sleep operational parameter that describes the length of pre-sleep recommended meditation, a value for a pre-sleep operational parameter that describes the type of pre-sleep recommended meditation, a value for a pre-sleep operational parameter that describes the length of pre-sleep recommended reading, a value for a pre-sleep operational parameter that describes the type of pre-sleep recommended meditation, a value for a pre-sleep operational parameter that describes the intensity of pre-sleep environment lighting, and/or the like). In some of the noted embodiments, the deep reinforcement learning machine learning model is configured to identify the recommended pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention as the candidate pre-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention whose respective intervention vector maximizes the output of the value generation sub-model (e.g., a Q function) given a pre-sleep window representation.

In some embodiments, the value generation sub-model us characterized by the equation Q(A_(t),S_(t))←Q(A_(t),S_(t))+α(R_(t+1)+γQ(A_(t+1),S_(t+1))−Q(A_(t),S_(t))), where each A_(x) is the action taken at time x and each S_(x) is the existing environment state at time x. Moreover, α is the learning rate, γ is the discount rate for future rewards, and R_(t+1) is the reward measure at a particular future timestep t+1. R can be chosen to describe the benefit of avoiding parasomnia events at any point in time, e.g., R=0 for not triggering a parasomnia event and R=−10 when triggering an event. In some embodiments, the deep reinforcement learning machine learning model is configured to perform the following optimization:

$\underset{A_{t}}{\max}{{Q\left( {A_{t},S_{t}} \right)}.}$

D. Generating Recommended In-Sleep Parasomnia Reduction Interventions

In some embodiments, a recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention is selected from a set of candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions. In some of the noted embodiments, to select the recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention from the set of candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions, an in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention machine learning model is used, where the in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention machine learning model may have an architecture that is similar to the architecture of an in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model except that, in addition to the inputs of the in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model, the in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention machine learning model takes an intervention representation (e.g., a vector representation, such as a one-hot-coded representation) of a particular candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention as an additional input. In some of the noted embodiments, given a set of inputs that is determined based at least in part on the in-sleep individual monitoring data for an ongoing sleep window and an additional input that is associated with a particular candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention, the output of the in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is a conditional likelihood score that describes a likelihood that the ongoing sleep window will include parasomnia episodes if the particular candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention is performed during the ongoing sleep window.

Accordingly, in some embodiments, to select a recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention from a set of candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions for a particular ongoing sleep window, an in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention machine learning model may be used to generate a conditional likelihood score for each candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention, and then the recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention may be selected based at least in part on each conditional likelihood score. For example, the recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention may be selected as the candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention having the lowest conditional likelihood score of all of the conditional likelihood scores of the set of candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions. As another example, the recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention may be generated based at least in part on a combination of each candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention whose conditional likelihood score satisfies (e.g., falls below) a conditional likelihood score threshold.

In some embodiments, to select the recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention from the set of candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions for an ongoing sleep window, an ongoing sleep time representation of the ongoing sleep window (e.g., an ongoing sleep time representation that is determined based at least in part on a model input of an in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model for the ongoing sleep window) is used to generate an existing state of the environment that may then be supplied to a deep reinforcement learning machine learning model, where the deep reinforcement learning machine learning model may be configured to select the recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention in a manner that is configured to maximize a value generation sub-model (e.g., a Q function) of the deep reinforcement machine learning model given the existing state defined by the ongoing sleep time representation.

For example, in some embodiments, each candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention may be defined by an intervention vector that is characterized by a unique combination of values for a set of in-sleep operational parameter values (e.g., a unique combination of a value for an in-sleep operational parameter that describes a particular ambient light projection level of the in-sleep environment during the ongoing sleep window, an in-sleep operational parameter that describes a particular vibration intensity of the in-sleep environment during the ongoing sleep window, an in-sleep operational parameter that describes a particular ambient sound projection type of the in-sleep environment during the ongoing sleep window, and an in-sleep operational parameter that describes a particular ambient sound projection intensity level of the environment during the ongoing sleep window, and/or the like). In some of the noted embodiments, the deep reinforcement learning machine learning model is configured to identify the recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention as the candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention whose respective intervention vector maximizes the output of the value generation sub-model (e.g., a Q function) given an ongoing sleep window representation.

As described above, each candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention may be associated with an intervention vector that describes a unique combination of values for a set of operational parameter values. For example, a particular candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention may be associated with an intervention vector that describes a particular ambient light projection level, a particular vibration intensity, a particular ambient sound projection type (e.g., a particular music track, voice of the monitored individual, voice of a person close to the monitored individual, and/or the like), and a particular ambient sound projection intensity level. If the particular candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention is adopted as the recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention, then an in-sleep environment of an ongoing sleep window may be modified using one or more electronic devices to set the lighting of the in-sleep environment in accordance with the particular ambient light projection level, set the vibration of a bed of the in-sleep environment in accordance with the particular vibration intensity, and broadcast audio data in the in-sleep environment in accordance with the particular ambient sound projection type and the particular ambient sound projection intensity level. An exemplary intervention vector may have the form A_(t)=[ambient_light_level, watch_vibration_intensity, ambient_sound_type, ambient_sound_intensity, . . . ].

In some embodiments, the value generation sub-model us characterized by the equation Q(A_(t),S_(t))←Q(A_(t),S_(t))+α(R_(t+1)+γQ(A_(t+1),S_(t+1))−Q(A_(t), S_(t))), where each A_(x) is the action taken at time x and each S_(x) is the existing environment state at time x. Moreover, α is the learning rate, γ is the discount rate for future rewards, and R is the reward measure. R can be chosen to describe the benefit of avoiding parasomnia events at any point in time, e.g., R=0 for not triggering a parasomnia event and R=−10 when triggering an event. In some embodiments, the deep reinforcement learning machine learning model is configured to perform the following optimization:

$\underset{A_{t}}{\max}{{Q\left( {A_{t},S_{t}} \right)}.}$

Accordingly, various embodiments of the present invention introduce techniques for efficient parasomnia reduction intervention in real-time by introducing techniques that enable utilizing efficient deep reinforcement learning models in detecting optimal parasomnia reduction interventions. For example, in some embodiments, to select the recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention from the set of candidate in-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions for an ongoing sleep window, an ongoing sleep time representation of the ongoing sleep window (e.g., an ongoing sleep time representation that is determined based at least in part on a model input of an in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model for the ongoing sleep window) is used to generate an existing state of the environment that may then be supplied to a deep reinforcement learning machine learning model, where the deep reinforcement learning machine learning model may be configured to select the recommended in-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention in a manner that is configured to maximize a value generation sub-model (e.g., a Q function) of the deep reinforcement machine learning model given the existing state defined by the ongoing sleep time representation. By using the noted techniques, various embodiments of the present invention enable efficient and reliable detection of optimal parasomnia reduction interventions in real-time, thus making important technical contributions to improving real-time efficiency of performing parasomnia-related predictive data analysis for a monitored individual.

E. Generating Recommended Post-Sleep Parasomnia Reduction Interventions

In some embodiments, a recommended post-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention is selected from a set of candidate post-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions. In some of the noted embodiments, to select the recommended post-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention from the set of candidate pre-sleep parasomnia reduction interventions for a post-sleep window, a post-sleep window representation may be generated for the post-sleep window based at least in part on the ongoing sleep window representation for an ongoing sleep window that precedes the post-sleep window and/or the pre-sleep window representation for a pre-sleep window that precedes the ongoing sleep window. The post-sleep window representation may then be used to generate an existing state of the post-sleep environment that may then be supplied to a deep reinforcement learning machine learning model, where the deep reinforcement learning machine learning model may be configured to select the recommended post-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention in a manner that is configured to maximize a value generation sub-model (e.g., a Q function) of the deep reinforcement machine learning model given the existing state defined by the pre-sleep window representation.

For example, in some embodiments, each candidate post-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention may be defined by an intervention vector that is characterized by a unique combination of values for a set of post-sleep operational parameter values (e.g., a unique combination of a value for a post-sleep operational parameter that describes the length of post-sleep recommended meditation, a value for a post-sleep operational parameter that describes the type of post-sleep recommended meditation, a value for a post-sleep operational parameter that describes the length of post-sleep recommended reading, a value for a pre-sleep operational parameter that describes the type of post-sleep recommended meditation, a value for a post-sleep operational parameter that describes the intensity of post-sleep environment lighting, and/or the like). In some of the noted embodiments, the deep reinforcement learning machine learning model is configured to identify the recommended post-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention as the candidate post-sleep parasomnia reduction intervention whose respective intervention vector maximizes the output of the value generation sub-model (e.g., a Q function) given a post-sleep window representation.

In some embodiments, the value generation sub-model us characterized by the equation Q(A_(t),S_(t))←Q(A_(t),S_(t))+α(R_(t+1)+γQ(A_(t+1),S_(t+1))−Q(A_(t),S_(t))), where each A_(x) is the action taken at time x and each S_(x) is the existing environment state at time x. Moreover, α is the learning rate, γ is the discount rate for future rewards, and R is the reward measure. R can be chosen to describe the benefit of avoiding parasomnia events at any point in time, e.g., R=0 for not triggering a parasomnia event and R=−10 when triggering an event. In some embodiments, the deep reinforcement learning machine learning model is configured to perform the following optimization:

$\underset{A_{t}}{\max}{{Q\left( {A_{t},S_{t}} \right)}.}$

F. Dynamic Deployment of Machine Learning Models

In some embodiments, the model input of a parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model (e.g., an in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model) may be associated with statically-deployed features and dynamically-deployed features. The statically-deployed feature values may describe those feature values that can be interpreted without regard to the physical environment in which the parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is used, while the dynamically-deployed feature values may describe those feature values whose interpretation is dependent on the physical environment in which the parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is used. For example, the ECG sequence may correspond to a statically-deployed feature, because the EEG sequence of a monitored individual can be interpreted independently and without regard to the physical environment of the monitored individual. As another example, the beside audio sequence may correspond to a dynamically-deployed feature, as the significance of captured audio signals is a function of various physical environment features, such as the distance of the audio recording device to a monitored individual.

Accordingly, in some embodiments, because the model input of a parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is associated with statically-deployed features and dynamically-deployed features, a trained parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model that is trained in one physical environment cannot reliably be deployed in a second physical environment, as the predictive model developed through the training process with respect to the dynamically-deployed feature values may be physical-environment-specific. Accordingly, in some embodiments, a parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is dynamically deployed in a new physical environment in the following manner: before sufficient training data entries for the new physical environment is obtained, parasomnia episode likelihood scores for particular time windows (e.g., particular pre-sleep windows, particular ongoing sleep windows, and/or the like) are generated using a preexisting parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model whose model input is not characterized by the dynamically-deployed features, but user feedback for the particular time windows is used to aggregate training data entries that are then used to train and deploy the parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model when sufficient training data entries are obtained/recorded for training the parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart diagram of an example process 900 for generating a parasomnia episode likelihood score for an ongoing sleep window that is associated with one or more statically-deployed feature values and one or more dynamically-deployed feature values. While various embodiments of the present invention describe dynamic deployment of an in-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model, a person of ordinary skill in the relevant technology will recognize that the techniques described herein can be used to dynamically deploy a pre-sleep parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model, a pre-sleep intervention recommendation machine learning model, an in-sleep intervention recommendation machine learning model, a post-sleep intervention recommendation machine learning model, and/or the like.

The process 900 begins at step/operation 901 when the predictive data analysis computing entity 106 determines whether a deployment indicator for a dynamically-deployed parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is an affirmative deployment indicator describing that the parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is deployed, or a negative deployment indicator describing that the parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is not deployed. In some embodiments, the deployment indicator is determined based at least in part on whether the dynamically-deployed parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is deployed, the dynamically-deployed parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is deployed when one or more dynamic deployment conditions are satisfied, the one or more dynamic deployment conditions comprise a first condition requiring that a training data entry count of a training data entry set satisfies a training data entry count threshold, the parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model may be generated based at least in part on the training data entry set, and each training data entry in the training data entry set is associated with a training model input and a target model output.

In some embodiments, the dynamically-deployed parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is only deployed when a set of dynamic deployment conditions are satisfied, where the set of dynamic deployment conditions may comprise a first condition requiring that a training data entry count of a training data entry set that is used to generate the dynamically-deployed parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model satisfies (e.g., exceeds) a threshold. In some embodiments, the set of dynamic deployment conditions comprise other conditions, such as a second condition requiring that a deviation measure for the dynamically-deployed parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model and a centralized parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model satisfies a deviation measure threshold. In some embodiments, the centralized parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is a parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model that is determined based at least in part on aggregating trained parameter data for one or more decentralized parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning models and by using one or more federated learning techniques.

In some embodiments, the one or more statically-deployed feature values of the model input of a dynamically-deployed parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model comprise an electrocardiogram representation of the ongoing sleep window, an electroencephalography representation of the ongoing sleep window, and a movement-based representation of the ongoing sleep window. In some embodiments, the one or more dynamically-deployed feature values of the model input of a dynamically-deployed parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model comprise an audio-based representation of the ongoing sleep window, a thermal camera representation of the ongoing sleep window, and an emotion-based representation of the ongoing sleep window.

In response to determining that the deployment indicator is a negative deployment indicator describing that the parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is not deployed, the predictive data analysis computing entity 106 performs step/operations 911-913. At step/operation 911, the predictive data analysis computing entity 106 determines the parasomnia episode likelihood score based at least in part on the one or more statically-deployed feature values and using a preexisting parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model. At step/operation 912, the predictive data analysis computing entity 106 generates a new training entry in the training entry set, where the training model input of the new training entry is determined based at least in part on the one or more statically-deployed feature values and the one or more dynamically-deployed feature values, and where the target model output for the new training entry is determined based at least in part on an end user feedback data object that describes an end-user feedback (e.g., a feedback provided by a monitored individual and/or by another individual that is aware of whether the monitored individual is experiencing parasomnia episodes during the ongoing sleep window) regarding whether the ongoing sleep window includes parasomnia episodes. At step/operation 913, subsequent to generating the new training data entry of the training entry, the predictive data analysis computing entity 106 increments the training data entry count of the training entry set to indicate that a new training entry has been added to the training entry set.

In response to determining that the deployment indicator is an affirmative deployment indicator describing that the parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is deployed, the predictive data analysis computing entity 106 performs steps/operations 921-922. At step/operation 921, the predictive data analysis computing entity 106 determines the parasomnia episode likelihood score based at least in part on the one or more statically-deployed feature values and the one or more dynamically-deployed feature values and using the dynamically-deployed parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model. At step/operation 922, the predictive data analysis computing entity 106 optionally updates the parasomnia episode likelihood score based at least in part on feedback provided by the preexisting parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model.

For example, in some embodiments, in response to determining that the deployment indicator is an affirmative deployment indicator, the predictive data analysis computing entity 106 performs the following operations: determining, based at least in part on the one or more statically-deployed feature values and using a preexisting parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model, a preexisting parasomnia episode likelihood score; determining, based at least in part on the one or more statically-deployed feature values and the one or more dynamically-deployed feature values, and using the dynamically-deployed parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model, a dynamically deployed parasomnia episode likelihood score; and determining the parasomnia episode likelihood score based at least in part on the preexisting parasomnia episode likelihood score and the dynamically deployed parasomnia episode likelihood score. In some of the noted embodiments, determining the parasomnia episode likelihood score in response to determining that the deployment indicator is the affirmative deployment indicator comprises: determining, based at least in part on the preexisting parasomnia episode likelihood score and the dynamically deployed parasomnia episode likelihood score, and using an ensemble machine learning model, the parasomnia episode likelihood score, wherein the ensemble machine learning model is characterized by a trained model weight for each of the preexisting parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model and the dynamically-deployable parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model.

Accordingly, as described herein, various embodiments of the present invention enable techniques for improving real-time efficiency of performing parasomnia-related predictive data analysis for a monitored individual by introducing techniques that enable dynamic deployment of a parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model whose expected input is associated with both statically-deployed features and dynamically-deployed features. In some embodiments, because the model input of a parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is associated with statically-deployed features and dynamically-deployed features, a trained parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model that is trained in one physical environment cannot reliably be deployed in a second physical environment, as the predictive model developed through the training process with respect to the dynamically-deployed feature values may be physical-environment-specific. Accordingly, in some embodiments, a parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model is dynamically deployed in a new physical environment in the following manner: before sufficient training data entries for the new physical environment is obtained, parasomnia episode likelihood scores for particular time windows (e.g., particular pre-sleep windows, particular ongoing sleep windows, and/or the like) are generated using a preexisting parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model whose model input is not characterized by the dynamically-deployed features, but user feedback for the particular time windows is used to aggregate training data entries that are then used to train and deploy the parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model when sufficient training data entries are obtained/recorded for training the parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model. By using the noted techniques, various embodiments of the present invention ensure that a parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning model whose expected input is associated with both statically-deployed features and dynamically-deployed features is only deployed when sufficiently trained, thus avoiding the accuracy and efficiency drawbacks of deploying insufficiently trained parasomnia episode likelihood prediction machine learning models and in doing so improving real-time efficiency of performing parasomnia-related predictive data analysis for a monitored individual.
